One thing that is easy to overlook when you are part of a production is the environment. I've talked to people in the industry in the past, and they have admitted to being on a lot of projects that paid no attention to their carbon footprint. And the bigger the production, the more damage is being done to our precious environment. Xavier Cortes is currently working with Netflix on a project in Miami, as an assistant in the Craft Service Dept. His production has made an effort to reduce waste by providing water to crew members to refill containers, and reduce plastic waste.
The folks at Filmiami, collaboration of several organizations that are supporting the film industry in the miami area, have posted a "Go Green Guide". This is a very detailed reference manual that gives guidance is all aspects of the production, including Transportation, Construction, Wardrobe, and Craft Service. It is my hope that these practices will be implemented during more productions in my beautiful city of Miami, and as well, all around the world.
